Microsoft Devices launch two new Lumia smartphones in Australia

Microsoft has announced that this month Australian mobile users will be able to get their hands on the Lumia 930 and Lumia 635.

Lumia 930

Featuring a 5-inch Full HD OLED display along with the Snapdragon 800, quad core 2.2 GHz processor this phone will be able to handle anything you throw at it. Add in a 20mp PureView camera and you can capture all of life’s moments with amazing clarity.

Andrew Volard, Telstra’s Director of Device Management: ”This beautifully designed smartphone is only made better with Windows Phone 8.1 enhancements. Features like the Word Flow keyboard, which allows you to swipe through letters for a faster typing experience and Action Centre, for slide-down notifications and quick settings, will be very popular with customers.”

 “The Windows Phone experience is also better integrated than ever on the Nokia Lumia 930. You can create photos, videos and documents right on your phone and sync them to your Windows PC, tablet and Xbox devices. And of course Telstra’s network -- which offers four times the 4G coverage area of any other network -- makes it easier to access all your favourite shared files in more places.”

Lumia 635

Alongside the 930 is the 635, a smaller yet still impressive device. Sporting a 5Mp camera along with the Snapdragon 400 processor, this little phone will get lots of work done for anyone looking for a nice cheap phone.

Ben White, Vice President, Mobile Marketing, Optus: “We are delighted to be launching the new Lumia 930 and Lumia 635. On the Lumia 930 with our brand new My Plan Plus, customers have plenty of data, and no nasty surprises if they want to use even more. With the Nokia Lumia 635 coming to market at the attractive price of $0 on a $35 My Plan Plus with generous inclusions, customers can really maximise all the great features of a Windows Phone.”

Release dates are yet unknown for both phones but according to Microsoft it is this month.
